2011/12 Season Recap - Tottenham Champions League Winners!

It has been a while since my last update so I am going to summarize the entire 2011/12 season in a single post. The season was highlighted with an incredible ECC victory that nobody could have predicted! I was able to get my club into a great run of form in the second half of the season and we were unstoppable in this competition.

English Premier League Finish: 5th

It was a somewhat disappointing league campaign for me, as I had hopes of winning the title this year. I got off to my usual horrible start but pulled back with a great second half of the season.

Notable Roster Moves:

David Bentley Out:He finally got his wish to leave the club, and my decision to hold on to him until the last minute cost me dearly as I only got 10 million for him.

Carlos Eduardo In: The talented Brazilian was bought for £24 million (which is a lot I know) and he played very well all year, and was a huge part of my success in the ECC.

Willians Santana In: Another big money Brazilian players comes into my club however he dd not play very well however I am hoping next year will be better.

Here is a summary of my transfer and finances:

Looking Forward

In 2012/13 I have decided to my squad fully intact and not bring in any new players. In years past I have made changes every year and I believe it has been the cause of my slow start each year. I ma going to keep the squad the same and see how the season goes. I obviously have the talent to succeed with this group as evidenced by winning the ECC, so I am gong to give them every opportunity to bring home domestic glory as well. My goal for the season is to win the Premier League. I would love to defend the ECC title as well but I think that may be an unrealistic expectation. Stay tuned!

Ozzy....tell me about it I had a plan on how this would all go down but believe me it was nothing like what actually happened. It was all too easy.....I had lots of cash and offered mostly modest amounts for some unknown foreigners who were eager to come and bingo next thing you know I am beating everyone. I would like to chalk it up to luck but it may also be the game just being easy at pleasing it's users, who knows.

My team was on such a run and morale was so high that there was no stopping them. Even the likes of ManU, Arsenal, and Bayern were all no match for the "mighty" Spurs and their young 20 year old Brazilians. It almost didn't seem right when I was winning it.

That's right, everyone takes control of their team and buys random foreigners with good nubmers that have only been scouted once or twice and, assuming their tactics don't suck, they start overachieving.

Incidentally, in Europe I can (and in my CL winnign season, did) completely dominate every team in the competition, until I face an English team. The English teams have been the only ones to provide me competition.

What you're saying is completely true. I know that everybody must say the same thing, but I just think that you put it in a way that everyone can understand. I'm sure you'll reach so many people with what you've got to say.
